Recently, a friend lost a phone. Apparently, it was turned off after being found. When going to Android Device Manager, it only indicated that it couldn't locate the phone. I thought that it would show its last known location, but it did not. Shouldn't it?
View 1 RepliesI misplaced my phone (LG G3) on 06/28, and the battery level was very low the last time I had it, so it surely powered down shortly after I lost it. I have been checking Android Device Manager periodically in case it is powered on, and the last search showed that the phone is currently unavailable, but the last online date changed to 07/01...it doesn't say where the phone was when it was powered on on this date though, so I am wondering if there is a way to find this out.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently purchased a Nexus 6P, which I think is an absolutely brilliant device. Despite this I would like to mess around with it behind the scenes (root, different ROMs etc). Firstly I'd like to edit build.prop.As such as I have installed the Android SDK, installed the relevant things needed such as the USB drivers and platform tools. I've enabled USB debugging in the Developer Settings and ADB works fine when the phone is in normal mode. Booting in to fastboot mode also works.
Unfortunately, when I enter Recovery mode the phone disappears from ADB devices and from Device Manager on Windows. Strangely selecting the sideload option means the device shows up in both places, but I can't use the commands I want.
I've tried various official drivers, unofficial drivers and even edited the official drivers to add my hardware ID with no luck. I'm somewhat new to modern Android so I may be missing something obvious.
I'm going to preface this with the nagging feeling I may be completely off-base with how I think OTA updates while rooted/custom recovery works, but here goes anyway.
I got my 6P at launch, and immediately went and rooted it. Everything's been fine except for the constant notification that there's an OTA update available. I've got TWRP right now, so just attempting to reboot through the system's standard update installation doesn't do anything.
I thought I'd just grab the manual updates and flash them from the web. I was positive I grabbed the right Before-to-After .zip, but trying to flash it through TWRP just results in it failing. Nothing breaks on the device, it just boots and runs normally, but I'd still like to get these updates installed.
What I'm currently thinking is that instead of chasing down build number update zips, I'd just use the downloaded one specifically and attempt to install it via TWRP. This poses the question:
1. Where does Marshmallow download OTA updates to when it attempts to flash them when you reboot?
and then the follow-ups:
2. Can I even do this via TWRP, or is there a different process that I should use that I've somehow totally missed?
3. Post-OTA update, will I need to re-root? (Not a big deal, just wanting to set my expectations)
I currently have an unlocked Nexus 6 running latest build of 5.1 on Verizon right now since Sunday. However I can't get the Nexus to show in my Android Device Manager. The Nexus does show in Google Play. I have cleared cache and data from Device Manager app, I have uninstalled and re installed Device Manager as well. I have went into Google settings>Security and toggled on and off "Remotely locate this device" and "Allow remote lock and erase". I have powered down and on this device several times. I have removed my Google account and then resigned back into the account. I just can't think of anything else to do. I have searched online for this problem and have done everything that was told to me. I am hoping not to factory reset the device but if its the last result, I may not have a choose.
P.S. Is there a setting that I'm missing that has either Gmail or Inbox app retrieve emails quicker. It doesn't seem to be refreshing or pushing the emails to my phone very often. I have missed couple very important emails because of this. Not sure if its a related problem with the device manager situtation (doubt it).
Just checking in on Android Device Manager every now and then, and I notice the Nexus 6 I've had since November is a no show. My Nexus 7 and Asus TF Prime show on the list as expected.
I have Android Device Manager enabled as an administrator in the phone settings, and I don't see much in the way of settings on the site.

I am trying to locate my LG G3 using ADM. I have already enabled High Accuracy settings but the ADM app on my tablet still says "Unavailable". I have Samsung N2 and N3 that can be located but not the G3. I tried to use the Mcafee Mobile Security which is the built-in AV and it was able to find my phone. I also checked that both Mcafee and ADM are device admins.

View 2 Replies View RelatedJust played with nexus 6p at a store. Pretty disappointed with the file manager integration with email. I couldn't attach multiple files from dropbox while composing emails. It opens the Downloader and shows dropbox but it only attaches one file at a time (even that failed saying can't attach empty file after repeated attempts)...
I remember you could do the same if you've your files in Google drive!!
Currently the phone has location services on in battery saver mode with location history off. After updating to 6.0.1 or some new version of the phone app I have been unable to search for nearby places in app. The toggles for it have been turned on and off multiple times, turned the phone on and off, played with turning location settings on in different modes with the location history on and off in each scenario. Haven't tried clearing the cache and I don't find it to be a big enough problem to warrant a factory reset.

I noticed that on my Moto X Pure (Style) before and also now on my Nexus 6P that whenever I charged it to 100% it won't say "Full" but instead "Charging on AC" still. On my Moto X before, the "Full" message will be displayed after 30 mins or so. However on my Nexus 6P now, it will take more than an hour for it to say "Full".
View 4 Replies View RelatedI flashed the recovery, rooted the device. Updated the build.prop. Then unrooted it, put back stock recovery and locked the bootloader. I was getting "Your device is corrupt" message on boot, however, it was able to boot. I have received the January security updates, but I am not able to install it. It proceeds through installation and during the restart it shows "Error". I have already tried clearing cache.
Is there anything I can do ? Is there any way to update build.prop without getting "Your device is corrput" message ?
I haven't done a factory reset yet but I would love to avoid it if possible.
I went to take a picture of the wife's newly decorated Christmas tree and the stock camera fails to fully start. It behaves as if it can not use the hardware. When I look at the back there is a small red light/laser that refuses to go out unless the phone is rebooted.
I've rebooted the phone a few times and tried Manual Camera and a couple others .. same behavior.
The phone is running 6.0.1 and is rooted.
So I was running screwd ROM with elementalX kernel. Everything was working great but I'm a long time DU user. Went to their G+ page flashed ROM. I had issues with it so I wiped and restored my backup of screwd ROM through TWRP. The first go around I selected to restore all partitions. It got stuck on the boot logo. Booted back into recovery and restored android again. This time I unchecked the vendor image box and restored the rest of the partitions. Worked like a charm.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI got my Nexus 6P the other day and immediately flashed CM13 on it, and came across a couple of problems. I used the following guide, step by step: (Can't post links. but it's on Devs-Lab)
So, first off, after finishing everything (Unlocking the bootloader, Rooting & Installing Recovery and finally installing CM13) I came across a couple of problems. Firstly, my phone refused to start as it couldn't be decrypted even though I never encrypted it or set a password for the encryption (which it asked me for, to decrypt) so I tried to factory reset the phone. Didn't work, formated the phone which did work and now it launches / works with no issues. However, every time I start the phone it tells me that the device is corrupted and can't be trusted.
I want to reflash my Nexus 6P with a custom version of the AOSP. I can't access the device using "adb devices".
Code:
adb devices
List of devices attached
???????????? no permissions
I guess I need to add an entry for Nexus 6P (and also for 5X) to the /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules file. For this, I need the idProduct code for these two phones.
Code:
# adb protocol on hammerhead (Nexus 5)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTR{idProduct}=="4ee1", MODE="0600", OWNER="paul"
Where can I find this code?
How do you change the font on this device? Through the usual font app on the play store ?

Second I got No command error , then boot loop all the way .....
After some google i tried to press power + volume up and down to enter recovery ( the stock recovery ). I did wipe cash + wipe data factory hoping it solve the problem but seems no way
